Message: Hello,
Is your electromagnetic drive could build ssto space plane? Do you have sufficient energy sources to power the drive?
How much would it cost to build such a drive?
Regards,
Damian Młodziankowski
www.futech3d.com Supratech: Hello, thanks for being interested in our research. In its final form it certainly leads towards SSTO. During 2018 we will try to present publicly a functional model of such an engine. Nowadays we would be happy if such an engine could be installed on a satellite and allows a better maneuver only using solar energy. A possible transport to the orbit must be done using a classic reactive engine. Expected thrust of our unit will be in the order of Newtons when the weights is up to 20kg including the energy source.

Question (by Supratech) for a senior lecturer giving lectures in electrodynamics at a Teachers' College: What is your opinion of the physical possibilities of shielding a part of PHG circuit by a superconductor?
Reply (Professor): The superconductor forces the magnetic field out of its volume. This field disturbs the external magnetic field. If it is rotationally symmetrical, then this symmetry is disturbed and the field becomes more heterogeneous. If any voltage is induced, then the superconductor does not influence the current flowing through the circuit. Another physical interpretation: With respect to the orientation of the shielded leg along the axis parallel with the flux lines, the induced voltage would not be generated in case of a homogeneous field as the magnetic force exerted on electrons would be null even without shielding. In case of small dispersion of the magnetic flux lines, nevertheless, it could actually induce such voltage. In my opinion, the superconducting shield is not of any significance.
Response (Supratech): The measurement shown in Figure 3 in version 2 of report https://arxiv.org/abs/1601.07750v2 shows that the course of the resulting induction component B is not by far parallel with the PHG body. If this was the case, then the resulting perpendicular component (i.e. the component actually influencing the conductor) would be null and the relationship divB = 0 could not be preserved, resulting in an immediate conflict with the theory. PHG would be functional even without modifications with shielding.
The superconductor forces the field out of its volume. The flux lines always flow around the superconducting shield along the shortest path. There is practically no component of the flux lines parallel with the shield. It is therefore circumfluenced by the perpendicular components, which flow along the shortest paths possible. The circumfluencing flux lines cannot have any influence on the circuit, which is out of the shield scope. In version 3 of report http://www.supratech.org/cz/public/indukce.pdf, the shield is situated differently but with the same result.

Question (Supratech): What is your opinion of the existence of EMF imbalance (electromotive force) when a superconducting shield is used in PHG?
Reply (Professor): With reference to the previous case, I should say that magnetic shielding would only be meaningful in case of a heterogeneous field but its influence would not be essential due to the fact that the conductor would be oriented in parallel with the ideal flux lines. The imbalance of electromotive forces is caused by another flow of magnetic induction through legs i and i´Response (Supratech): In version 3 of the report, the shield is situated differently but with the same result. The paths of the flux lines along the FHG body is hypothetical only. Again, I would like to make a reference to Figure 3 in version 2 of the report. In your terms of imbalance in the mentioned legs, PHG would be functional even without any shielding.

Question (Supratech): Is the result of the experiment with shielded PHG expectable or not, or is it new in any way? If not, we would appreciate some explaining references etc.
Reply (Professor): If, in case of stationary rectangle coil, it is only the magnets which are in motion, then we can assume that the magnetic flux lines (magnetic field) can enter the coil area due to its heterogeneity, which is caused by the magnetic flux lines emerging from the neodymium magnets in the lower part. Another contribution to this may come from the field, which is shielded, i.e. Forced out of the volume of the shielding superconductors. This means that we assume asymmetrical magnetic field, which is variable in time due to the coaxial rotation of the magnets and to the magnetic flux lines entering the coil area; this would also partially modify the magnetic induction flux.
If it is the coil which is rotating, then the condition for emergence of induced voltage is met by the fact that the coil “intersects” the magnetic field by its leg i and i´. As shown in Figure 1, there is a rectangular area in the lower part; in our case, its shape would be circular. However, we need to discuss the heterogeneity of the field in the layout of the disc magnets. Homogeneity can be expected in the lower part (depending on the distance from the lower magnet) and on the side with the superconducting shield as these are the places where the field is shielded. The field does not reach the leg j but contributes to the heterogeneity of the overall magnetic field. Electrical induction can occur in the upper and lower parts i and i´ but cannot emerge in part j due to the shielding; it also cannot be seen along the axis passing through the conductor in parallel with the flux lines (i.e. in case of homogeneous field).
Response (Supratech): As I said in the previous answer, the field does not show such idealized distribution. Since there is no universal reference system, it makes no sense to assess the induction situation with respect to stationary magnets or stationary coil. Both aspects are identical and their physical results are also the same.

Question (Supratech): How would you explain the Faraday's paradox?
Reply (Professor): My explanation of the Faraday's paradox in case of conventional homopolar brush generators, i.e. of the fact that there is not induction inside the stationary disc, consists in the statement that the magnetic field is constant even when the magnets are rotating so no magnetic flux can occur. This also applies to any deformation of the field due to superconducting shield. (As you pointed out correctly, the condition divB = 0 is still met). On the other hand, if the disc rotates with respect to the magnetic field, then it is the electrons in the conductor which are in motion, and this flow of electron generates a magnetic field, resulting in induction in the brushes.
In the case of a brushless motor of your design, the conductor (frame) is stationary and there is no induction. That is why you cannot measure any value.
Response (Supratech): I can say definitely that it does not matter at all which reference you use for assessment of PHG/FHG function. Both systems are equivalent. I should, however, point out that the existence of a privileged inertial system - ether - has been gradually infirmed by the Michelson&Morley’s experiment and disproven by the relativity postulates since 1905. If we recognize the relativistic explanation of the Faraday's paradox, we find out that there is actually no paradox: It does not matter whether the disc is rotating and the magnet is stationary or it is the other way round. Both cases are characterized by EMG induction balance. The external and internal contributions of EMF are equal due to the basic condition divB = 0. This implies a zero induction, applying also to unshielded PHG. In FHG, though, there is an induction imbalance of EMF due to the fact that the disc is fixed to the magnets. This means that the internal flux does not contribute to the generation of EMF. The external flux lines are in motion with respect to the frame with brushes and, as such, should induce EMF from the external flux.

Note (Supratech): We would like to thank you, Professor. We are well aware that the problem of FHG has not been explored in full so far and there is a lack of knowledge in this area namely in Teachers' College. The interview has been edited for the sake of maximum conciseness and better understanding of the subject matter of the dispute. We have also encountered similar naive explanation of the function of FHG in certain researchers at CTU Prague. Examples of such non-complex explanation is available at http://worldnpa.org/abstracts/abstracts_5875.pdf or https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homopolar_generator .

Message: Hello, What do you think about emdrive and research David Pares? You continue your research? http://emdrive.com/ http://www.spacewarpdynamicsllc.com/ Regards,Damian
Supratech: Hello, thanks for your message. We have only a little knowledge about David Pares' research. We presume it is based on electrodynamics. If this our assumption is correct, we think it is currently the only possible direction. Our company has a clear vision of the research in the electrodynamics field. We no longer conduct a basic research in full range, but we continue in measurements in order to adjust optimal parameters of our solution of EMdrive. In other words, we conduct only a development. From the viewpoint of Czech tax system, it the same as research. Kind regards.

The properties of micro-world are manifested in the macro-world more than we have thought so far. They do not vanish; they just change their forms, waiting for being discovered. This is why we have decided to include the preparation of the previously advised report on the direct evidence that a change in magnetic flux is a weak condition for electromagnetic induction into our monograph, not earlier. Another reason consists in the large amount of data and evidence beyond the scope of a brief report. If anybody is interested in preparing such a report, we can lend them a bench tester of homogenized magnetic field. Instead of this report, we shall publish an updated version of the existing report (evidence using the development of the Lorentz force is strong enough), which will clarify the physical causes why induction cannot develop in homogeneous or homogenized magnetic field. In the updated report, the mathematical procedure is even more adapted to Maxwell's equations, thus clarifying why these equations have so long been resistant to any revisions predicted by the quantum physics:
In general, you will find that this is due to the fact that most of the design solutions for invoking induction or the opposite phenomenon are, in physical terms, in an area not allowing the revelation of other properties of the magnetic field thanks to various symmetries and technological feasibility. Easily feasible technical solutions used so far, which only use non-homogeneous magnetic field, do not provide complete information.
In other words: we have not settled for the academic reductionism or mathematical inductions. Our methods are predominantly deductive and experimental. Thanks to these methods, we have succeeded in simulating the homogeneous magnetic field, discovering the fact that the current theoretical conclusions of electrodynamics are not generally applicable. In the updated report, we will conclude that the micro-world properties are manifested in the macro-world much more than we have thought so far.

The fact that patent offices worldwide are mistaken in their decision-making could result in revaluation of the official theoretical platform. In the spring of 2017, we offered to the CTU Prague's Dean, through the data box, the possibility for all employees of the Faculty of Electrical Engineering to gain a reward from a motivation account. This call invoked no response at all. Nevertheless, a mere demonstration of a functional model of some of the patented pure generators /pure motors (to offer rental or purchase of the actual product, we provided the patent numbers and references to the authors in the call). The current balance of this account is provided here. On top of this amount, there is another CZK 200,000 to cover overhead costs. The original text of the call is available on this link.
We will strive to present our experiments systematically in the media. We would like to ask other people to contribute to this refundable motivation account. At present, we definitely know that no one will we able to demonstrate any (patented) model of PHG / PHM; the only purpose of contributing to this account is to discredit the current approach to electrodynamics and, therefore, scientific conservatism.

Considerations on mathematical and physical logic, part 2: A young doctoral student came with a splendid example of the vast gap between the mathematical and physical logic: “All excavators in your living room are blue.” Is this a true statement? 99.99% of the population immediately answer: It is a false statement as no excavator can fit in most living rooms. Some people will see it as a tricky question. There are very few people, who will know that the statement is true in mathematical terms. Moreover, any statement over an empty set is true in general. We can say anything about certain set until the moment we find that it is not empty. The physical logic is on the side of the overwhelming majority and, by this logic, anybody must object that the statement does not make sense. That means that a physicist thinks of things, about which they can assume that they belong to some non-empty set of interest. Mathematicians think about anything regardless the fact whether the object of interest as any real basis. A mathematician stresses soundness and completeness, while a physicist should not aim at completeness and closeness at all. A physicist can only approach the actual truth. Once a physicist starts to try to find some closeness and completeness, in which they can succeed, they are in danger that this truth will be mathematically popular in general. This is the trap, into which current official electrodynamics has fallen. It has not changed for 150 years. The author of the basic equations of electrodynamics became a celebrity. Any progress was stopped. It is quantum physics, which is revealing those contradictions between the traditional and quantum electrodynamics. Many academics explain these contradictions using a shortcut, which appears to be true: In the macro-world, all the quantums disappear. The previous sentence represents a statement over an empty set. Nobody has a clue, what this set of failing factors looks like, and yet many people resort to such reductions. However, nothing disappears. Similarly to the open space, where astronomers discover relicts bringing information on the past and structure, in electrodynamics - that is, in our laboratory - we discover macro forms of energy levels. As a conclusion, we come to a practical statement: Statements over an empty set or a set, on which we know nothing, are sterile in physical terms.
